Historical, observed, and modeled wildfire severity in montane forests of the Colorado Front Range. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Large recent fires in the western U.S. have contributed to a perception that fire exclusion has caused an unprecedented occurrence of uncharacteristically severe fires, particularly in lower elevation dry pine forests.

Global fire season severity analysis and forecasting [PDF]
Computers & Geosciences, 2020 In this paper, we divide the globe into a hexagonal grid and we extracted time series of daily fire counts from each cell to estimate and analyze worldwide fire season severity (FSS), here defined as the accumulated fire detections in a season. The central question here is evaluating the accuracy of time series forecasting methods to estimate short ...

Severe pneumonitis after fire eating [PDF]
BMJ Case Reports, 2012 A 38-year-old, previously healthy fire eater presented with severe pneumonitis after incidental aspiration of an unquantifiable amount of petroleum. The chest CT revealed extensive pulmonary consolidations, and the laboratory results showed massively elevated inflammatory markers.

Harmonization Of The Fire Severity In Standard Fire Resistance Test Furnaces [PDF]
Fire Safety Science, 1997 This paper discusses a methodology for harmonizing the fire severity in fire resistance test furnaces. The presented methodology is based on the predicted results obtained from models that examined the effects of furnace depth, furnace lining material and type of fuel on the fire severity in fire resistance test furnaces using the CANIULC-S101, ASTM E ...

How does tree regeneration respond to mixed‐severity fire in the western Oregon Cascades, USA?
Ecosphere, 2020 Dendroecological studies of historical tree recruitment patterns suggest mixed‐severity fire effects are common in Douglas‐fir/western hemlock forests of the Pacific Northwest (PNW), USA, but empirical studies linking observed fire severity to tree ...

Meta-analysis of avian and small-mammal response to fire severity and fire surrogate treatments in U.S. fire-prone forests [PDF]
, 2012 Management in fire-prone ecosystems relies widely upon application of prescribed fire and/or fire surrogate (e.g., forest thinning) treatments to maintain biodiversity and ecosystem function.
